西元的小说在三个向度上提供了新质。首先,是他作品中往微观层面探析、往深度里挖掘的细腻感。他的文字锐利而有深度,利用蓬勃的想象力和敏锐的捕捉力将微观事物定格、放大,细节描写趋于极致化。其次,是坚持书写军人的铁血精神,同时写出了军人的勇敢、牺牲与担当。无论是战争题材还是和平年代军营题材,他的作品都在寻找一种更为高远的精神意蕴作为小说主题和灵魂。支撑这种精神的是他始终向历史深处思索和探究,试图从军旅文学的源头和本质入手,写出军人的＂武人精神＂,呼唤失落已久的军人核心品质的回归。再次,是他的小说中显而易见的形而上思考,体现了他深厚的文艺理论功底。他作品中常有大段的思考议论,涉及对战争、死亡等深度问题的认识。

In Xiyuan＇s novels, the new qualities could be discovered from three aspects. The first is his exquisite writing at the micro and in-depth level. His wordings are sharp with profound meanings. In the description on details, his exquisite writing is highly developed by his extensive imagination and keen observation, focusing on and magnifying such details. The second is the description on tough soldiers. Their braveness, devotion and undertaking are fully disclosed. With respect to the background of both war and peacetime, his works are all looking for a more lofty spiritual implication as the novel＇s theme and soul. To support this spirit, he has always thought about and explored to the depth of the history, and experimented to show soldiers＇＂martial spirit＂ by starting from the source and essence of the military literature, so to call for the return of the long-lost solders＇ core quality. The third is his metaphysics thinking, which reflects his profound literary theory foundation. In his novels, there are large parts of profound comments on the issues of war and death.
